server too busy

[goldfish boy]

Are other people getting this message? I don't understand...the IRC is much less congested than during the Porn Clerk Stories buzz.

Actually, we may be getting this message because of a combination of lots of people and because of other activity on this server, not related to this site.

 

[LuluB]

it's very frustrating.

I think there might be some massive internet traffic...hitting various sites...or just causing jams. I know Earthlink's own main website/domain was getting hit. I couldn't even check my email. And both the IRC and Earthlink cleared up at the same time.

Could it be virus (mydoom) related?

same here - both earthlink and IRC jams on my work PC - my work server sluggish as well. no direct virus evidence though - ?

 

[goldfish boy]

well, at least I can let go of my paranoid fear that it's personal....

I have Verizon, and my whole internet connection has been abnormally slow today. I blame it on everybody wanting to see the close up pic of Janet's boobie.

Yeah, the server went down more times today then a $5.00 hooker during a clearance sale.

There is that whole "MyDoom" thing going on...

Today (Tuesday) is still weird. After a WHILE, you can get to the message board, then, when you click on a thread, it's back to the "server too busy" message. It's taken me quite a while to post even this little blurb. Things are unbusy for only about 20 seconds at a time, it seems.

Server too busy makes the baby Jesus cry?
Indeed.

 

[DanTelfer]

Yeah, it's pretty bad. Not to sound ungrateful, but it's pretty impossible to post. 50% or higher chance it gets lost in a busy message.

 

[GoldDustWoman]

just as bad if not worse today.

 

[mullaney]

Personally I get the message about once a day, so I'm not sure what is going on.

Is hope for the future to go smoother?

 

[mullaney]

Things that could improve it:

The "gamma" version of this software is about to go final. When I update it, the problem may clear up a bit.

If the server issues are being caused by another site on this server, that might be resolved and the server congestion will clear up.

We may be forced to move to a dedicated server in the near future because of bandwidth issues. If that happens, I expect our server load issues will improve as well.

God kills a baby everytime the server is busy.
